BS EN 3155-017:2020

What is BS EN 3155‑017 about?  

BS EN 3155 discusses standards for electrical contacts for aerospace series. 

BS EN 3155‑017 focuses on relay base, female electrical contacts. 

BS EN 3155‑017 is part-17 of a series of documents that specifies the required characteristics and tests and tooling applicable to female electrical contacts 017, type A, crimp, class P, used in elements of connection (relay bases) for aerospace applications. 

Who is BS EN 3155‑017 for? 

BS EN 3155‑017 on female electrical contacts for aerospace is applicable to: 

• Aerospace electric equipment manufacturers 
• Testing agencies involved in aerospace products testing  
• Aerospace and defence industries 
• Manufacturers of electrical connectors 
• Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology. 
• Design engineers for electrical contacts of aerospace series 

Why should you use BS EN 3155‑017? 

BS EN 3155‑017 assists aerospace industries as well as testing agencies in making and testing aerospace products with respect to proper dimensions, surface treatment, and alloy. 

BS EN 3155‑017 covers all the requirements for female electrical contacts 017, type A, crimp, class P. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry. 

You will be able to manufacture female electrical contacts that are safe to use, following the dimensional guidelines provided in BS EN 3155‑017. You will also lengthen the lifespan of your aircraft with BS EN 3155‑017 guidelines.
